Check the Long Division and Fix the Mistakes

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

"Check the Long Division and Fix the Mistakes" is written for 3rd Grade (Ages 8-9). If your little one is a year younger but already steady on division, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and division with remainder, within 0-100 (long division) never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

Check the Long Division and Fix the Mistakes

3rd grade math worksheet: check 8 solved long division problems like 59 ÷ 6 and 53 ÷ 7, circle Right or Wrong and fix the wrong ones. Answer key included. Part of our division with remainder, within 0-100 (long division) collection.

How do I use this worksheet?

Before handing out the worksheet, briefly introduce the concept with a short oral warm-up or a visual model on the board. Let students work through it independently, using a partner or small group only if they want to talk through their thinking, encouraging them to talk through their thinking: "What strategy are you using? How do you know that is right?" After completing the worksheet, review any missed problems together and discuss the reasoning rather than just the answer. For extra support, let students use manipulatives or draw pictures alongside the written problems. These division with remainder, within 0-100 (long division) worksheets work well as daily practice, homework, or a focused review activity.

What students will practice

  • Students will check 8 solved long division problems such as 89 ÷ 9 and 44 ÷ 6.
  • Students will multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder to check.
  • Students will circle Right or Wrong and write the right quotient and remainder.

What does this worksheet teach?

⌄

Check 8 solved long division problems like 59 ÷ 6 and 53 ÷ 7, circle Right or Wrong and fix the wrong ones. To check, multiply the quotient by the number you divided by and add the remainder. The remainder must be less than that number. The directions on the page read: Check each answer and circle Right or Wrong. Then, if it is wrong, write the right quotient and remainder in the Fix boxes. An answer key is included.

Can I use this division with remainder, within 0-100 (long division) worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

⌄

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade division, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with division with remainder, within 0-100 (long division). In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

What is a remainder?

⌄

The remainder is the amount left over when a number cannot be split into equal groups exactly. 29 ÷ 4 = 7 R1, because 7 groups of 4 make 28 and 1 is left.

Why must the remainder be less than the divisor?

⌄

If the amount left over is as big as the divisor, one more group fits, so the quotient is too small. 23 ÷ 6 is 3 R5, because 3 groups of 6 make 18 and 5 is less than 6.

How do you check a division answer with a remainder?

⌄

Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. For 55 ÷ 8 = 6 R7, 6 x 8 = 48 and 48 + 7 = 55, so the answer is right.

Is there an answer key?

⌄

Yes. All 5 long division with remainders sheets have an answer key.
